Recenzii
"As high schools strive to partner with post-secondary institutions to improve their students’ college readiness, they will find the how-to answers here."
"All too often partnerships are started in isolation and are program driven. A process driven partnership, grounded in theory and focused on practical implementation, is an excellent addition to the literature. I believe it will be used by practitioners and researchers alike."
"I found the material interesting, engaging, and important. This book provides a solid rationale for partnership. It includes a blueprint that is detailed enough to be helpful and loose enough to make clear that there is no one way approach; rather, partnerships must reflect their context."
